In preparing a witness to testify, a lawyer may invite the witness to provide truthful testimony favorable to the lawyer’s client. Preparation consistent with the rule of this Section may include the following:

discussing the role of the witness and effective courtroom demeanor;
discussing the witness’s recollection and probable testimony;
revealing to the witness other testimony or evidence that will be presented and asking the witness to reconsider the witness’s recollection or recounting of events in that light;
discussing the applicability of law to the events in issue;
reviewing the factual context into which the witness’s observations or opinions will fit;
reviewing documents or other physical evidence that may be introduced; and
discussing probable lines of cross-examination that the witness should be prepared to meet.

Witness preparation may include rehearsal of testimony. A lawyer may suggest [a] choice of words that might be employed to make the witness’s meaning clear. However, a lawyer may not assist the witness to testify falsely as to a material fact.

Dems can try all they want, but you can’t coach up crazy.
